Daybreakers is a super stylish, well crafted film, a film I thought stood out from the vampire films produced over the last few years. I loved how they managed to create a plausible society, with vampires, humans, and vampire monsters. The notion of falling human numbers was very clever, makes you wonder what would happen to Dracula if he had no more necks to bite.
Fantastic production values, it is incredibly slick, sounds great, and has wonderful cinematography. The acting was impressive also, with some super performances, Ethan Hawke in particular.
The vampire genre seems to have taken a nosedive in recent times, with the constant churning out of zombie movies. I felt Daybreakers was the start of something big, with sequels to follow, but clearly this lacked something for the mass audiences, I know the ending gets some flack, maybe that had something to do with it.
Some good scares too, I feel films are now intent on just giving us gore, moments to turn the stomach. I appreciated the efforts that went into providing scares.
Loved it. 9/10
